根据屏幕尺寸调整物品高度以适合其RecyclerView

Question

I have a RecyclerView with height:match_parent which displays 16 items vertically with fixed height in adapter. Everything works fine except when it comes to the different screen sizes. In larger screens there is a space remained at the bottom after 16 items are displayed, where on small screen phones it perfectly fits to the bottom. I am looking for a way where list items heights are adjusted to the RecyclerView height till the end without scrollable.

Check the Screenshots below for more clarification

Problem:

Expectation:

My approach was to make the Item weight set to 1, hence when rendering into the RecyclerView 16 times, they will share the same height within the RecyclerView . Unfortunately that didn't work for me.

My RecyclerView:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
     android:id="@+id/rv_morning"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:overScrollMode="never" />

My Adapter:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:clickable="false"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView />

</LinearLayout>
